[QUOTE="Serpenteye, post: 1362617, member: 1492"] Asveh is most pleased by the independent progress of his people and continues to encourage new ideas and solutions. Every night he comes to those of the wisest and most intelligent minds of the tribe where he has sensed a talent for magic. He trains them intensely in their dreams and when they are awake, if they are not unwilling, concentrating on nature-magics and healing. The internal feuding angers him greatly, and he makes it perfectly clear that infighting will not be tolerated. He always tries to intervene before it can come to bloodshed and he always punishes the guilty (by rebuking them severely and, if their crimes are great, painfully). Even so he starts to feel the need for a more proactive approach to solving the problem. The unclear social structure seems to be the primary reason for the troubles. The families are too independent and clannish, their claim to the peoples' loyalties is too great and it comes at the expense of the tribe. He gathers the heads of the families and explains his worries; An alternative system must be formulated and their input and cooperation is required. A set of unbreakable laws would have to be formulated by a temporary council of the elders and the deity that would form a constitution, a frame-work for how the nation must be run. After discussing the issue they arrive at a solution. (ooc: ?) The First Law and Constitution of the nation. §1-All authority is derived from Asveh. §2-The nation shall have a single leader, beneath Asveh. §3-The leader shall be appointed for life by Asveh, and can only be deposed by Asveh. §4-The first priority of the leader shall always be the strength of the nation and the welfare of the people. §5-The leader has the power to write laws, collect taxes, render judgement and appoint government officials. §6-The leader shall execute the authority of their office with due care and moderation. §7-A council of five wise elders elected by the people shall act as advisors to the leader and assist him selfessly. §8-All people have the right to their own life and property. That right can be forfeited by the violation of a criminal law in the first case, and by the violation of a civil or a criminal law in the second case. §9-The Constitution can only be repealed or amended with the direct approval of Asveh. The constitution is written and word goes out to the people about the imminent appointment of the Leader and the election of the Advisory Council. Everyone wishing to run for office must announce themselves. Those who wish to be examined for suitability for leadership need only send a prayer to Asveh. The appointment and election will be in one month. - The death of the scouting party infuriates him and he concludes that the lycantropic packs must be dealt with in force. He begins his preparations by training his adepts in animating plants to entangle opponents and spells to put enemies to sleep. Those who master those magics are assembled in a unit, named The Blessed Ones. Their own magical abilities are enhanced by Asveh in exchange for a daily regimen of prayer. Another unit is assembled from the hunters in the tribe. They are put trough rigorous physical and mental training and are honoured with increased rations. This force is named The Wolf Guard, after their avowed enemies. Asveh announces the need for better weapons. The simple clubs and thrown rocks are too clumsy and weak for fighting such dangerous beasts as wolves. He demonstrates the properties of flint and bows. The Halflings who were killed by the wolves are honoured in an official ceremony. Asveh holds a speach and uses his rhetorical and supernatural abilities to unite the tribe in the lust for vengeance. At the high-point of the speach he conjures the souls of the dead from beyond the veil and gives them one day to say goodbye to their loved ones. Then, if they wish it they will depart for the afterlife. He'll fashion a new home for them, a small paradise for them to spend eternity. Then he will explain to the people that all who live their lives in honour and reverance will be rewarded after they die. Those who are wicked will suffer until they too are ready to ascend. Those who are truly lost shall know pain everlasting. Those of the eight dead who wish it may remain in spirit-form as long as they want, and continue to live among the people until they are ready to depart. They will be made honorary members of the Wolf Guard to serve as their scouts and protectors. Separate ceremonies are kept for those killed by the feuding and those who have died from other causes. Everyone is awarded some honour and genuine grief but those who died as criminals are also rebuked. These dead are also given leave to return to say farewell to their loved ones, but then they will depart for the afterlife. Those who vow to serve Asveh with all their souls will be allowed to return to the world permanently in spirit-form.
